The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an important matchup with huge playoff implications headed their way in Week 16. Over the last two weeks, the Panthers and Bucs have flipflopped as NFC South leaders multiple times, and the winner of this matchup will take control of the division.
For the first time all season, the Buccaneers are finally nearing full strength, with key pieces returning from injury in recent weeks in perfect time for the final playoff push. Unfortunately, that didn't matter in Week 15 when the Bucs lost a heartbreaker to the Falcons.
As much as that stunk, it’s in the rearview and all eyes are on the Panthers this upcoming Sunday.
